Alan Flusser and his Go To Hell pants

Alan Flusser at his Custom Shop, shot for Gilt MANual's story on the GTH pants. I went up and met The Trad, and we had a great time moving things about and cajoling Mr. Flusser to pose. Flusser is the author of many style books, most recently Style and the Man, and is a designer of custom menswear. I was thrilled to meet such an iconic figure in the menswear world!

How did Flusser ever become an 'expert'? He's a fraud and a chancer. His books are full of opinion disguised as fact (e.g. 'Americans wore sack suits because they are generally larger people' !?) and he dresses himself either like a tramp or a clown.

Order the book!

About The Dandy Portraits

The Dandy Portraits began in early 2008 as I started to meet gentlemen who had exceptional personal style. Their "extreme elegance" seemed to be the present day expression of The Dandy. Dandyism has been a passionately debated topic since it's beginning in late 18th century England and France. Today, the question, "What is a dandy?" has no simple answer, and I do not claim to have the last word. Rather, this is a very personal exploration of dandyism - in it's "infinite variety" - thru the gentlemen I have had the pleasure of meeting. With each new portrait comes more curiosity, and the realization that a true dandy is a rare thing indeed.
